Package Description
We are looking for Bank Support Workers in Telford to support a gentleman who lives in his own property who requires support on a 3:1 basis.
The person supported has a mild learning disability and Schizo-Affective disorder. The male supported has a great sense of humour, loves chatting and spending time with people. He especially enjoys shopping and going out for lunch especially chips and gravy!
You must have experience of providing support to a person with complex needs and behaviours that may be perceived as challenging within the UK and have experience of understanding and implementing detailed care plans and risk assessments.
Gray Healthcare are different to most care providers in that that we are clinically led. That means that there is a team of clinicians including nurses, occupational therapists and Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) specialists involved in developing the care and approach for each person that we support. This provides more direction to the Support teams; it is an inclusive approach that is proven to work to improve the lives and outcomes of the people that we support.
